Abby’s sister, Meggy, passed away the year before their owner, who was often seen walking his pets near him Highgate home and referred to them as his best friends.

Now, Michael’s close friend, Alex Georgiou, confirmed the news on Heart FM and said people all over the world came to visit the pooch.

He said: “People came from all over the world to see her and they would wait patiently until four o’clock for her walk as not to disturb her.

“She loved people and she was so gentle.”

“You are loved so much, you are a blessing to us all, especially me.

“You will always be my sunshine and I promise one day I will come and find you but for now my sweetheart run and play with Meggy and George over Rainbow Bridge in to the meadows out in the sun they are waiting for you.

“Have fun my sweetheart. I’ll see you again xxx. [sic]”
